Have you ever imagined getting married underwater? How about having a cenote as the scenery of your ceremony? Or maybe during a Hot Air balloon ride? How does it sound to have a wedding with no guests? These are some of the possibilities offered by the international project Pop Up Weddings Destinations, which has now arrived in Mexico and is dedicated to couples who look for an intimate wedding with different experiences.
The Pop Up Weddings Destinations is a project designed for Elopement Weddings and Mini Weddings, with a maximum of 15 guests. This celebration includes a magical ceremony, a beautiful cake, and an unforgettable photoshoot. The original Pop Up Weddings is a 3-hour wedding, but it can be built and designed for a whole day.
This initiative was born in Portugal, led by the wedding planner and tailor Rui Mota Pinto. He has participated in experiences like a wedding in a parachute flight, a celebration in the middle of a road, and a boat ceremony. In Mexico, the wedding planners Guadalupe Alvarez, Penzi Weddings, and Ilse Diamant, Diamant Events, will be in charge of it.
“We go beyond traditional concepts and limitations to create an experience of love. From start to finish, joy is always present!” say Guadalupe Alvarez and Ilse Diamant.
Innovative solution during the pandemic
Since the worldwide wedding industry has been struggling with massive postponements and cancellations in 2020, this innovative solution is giving hope for couples and wedding vendors.
“The pandemic has forced companies to innovate in their touristic products, designing unique and unforgettable experiences. It is perfect for these uncertain times since they can be done simply with the couple. We have made alliances with different destination providers so that we all participate in this incredible project”, Guadalupe and Ilse claim.
This new proposal puts Mexico again as a spearhead in Latin American destinations by presenting romance experiences with differentiating value. “Joining this worldwide group with Pop Up Weddings will promote Our countries TOP destinations for weddings and romance experiences. It is an honor for us to present this unique, innovative project that will help revive this tourist segment that has suffered so much during this COVID-19”, mention Guadalupe and Ilse.
The two destinations chosen to be the first locations for Pop Up Weddings Destinations Mexico are San Miguel de Allende and the Haciendas of the State of Yucatan.
The heart of Mexico is in the hands of the wedding planner Guadalupe Alvarez, who leads the team in this magical town through her destination wedding company Penzi Bodas.
“San Miguel de Allende is a beautiful colonial town in the center of Mexico. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with romantic streets and amazing venues. The weather is amazing most of the year. It is also Conde Nast traveler’s 2nd best city to visit in 2020”, explains Guadalupe Alvarez. “A typical wedding tradition in the region is the callejoneadas, a parade with music, mariachis, big puppets, a donkey and lots of fun. It also involves cultural experiences filled with traditions of our Mexican charming towns.”
The wedding planner Ilse Diamant is in charge of the paradisiac beaches and the famous Mexican haciendas. She leads the team in this magical corner of Mexico through her company, Diamant Events.
Haciendas of Yucatan are jewels of an era gone by, now converted into luxurious hotels, restaurants or museums, Yucatecan haciendas offer a historical and sensational experience. They have been restored respecting the original architecture, so that we can make a trip to the past and know its importance in the history and culture of Yucatan.
